Basketball Day - Arezzo

Yesterday (Sunday) we went to Arezzo for the day. Sam was playing in a basketball tournament for his team - Dukes of Sansepolcro. It was a miserable day and the rain hardly stopped.
We got to Arezzo, and after the traditional Italian late start (only half an hour this time) the first match was underway.
Dukes got off to a flying start, winning their 1st 3 matches easily. This took us nicely up to the lunchtime break. We had decided not to join the others for the "club meal" as we'd heard awful reports about it. So we went 2 minutes down the road and found McDonalds...a rare treat!
I've heard many Italians knocking McDonalds in the past, but clearly none of them were there yesterday. It was absolutely packed!
Anyway, we returned, well fed, for the afternoon matches, which didn't go quite so well. A loss and a draw.
We'll find out on Tuesday what their final position was, but it's a guaranteed 2nd place, and a possible 1st - depending on the result of the last match of the day.
Dukes played really well, a credit to their twice weekly training. Sam scored quite a few baskets so was very proud of himself!
